The Israeli Air Force released some interesting images of an F-15D carrying a Blue Sparrow air-launched test target.
This week, the Israeli Air Force has carried out a series of tests of its multi-layered anti-missile defense system. The “David’s Sling”, “Hetz” and “Iron Dome” weapon systems successfully intercepted their targets during the testing campaign held in cooperation with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and the Israel Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) of the Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D).
According to the IAF, “the series included several scenarios simulating new and future threats that the system may face, during which the capabilities of the new and upgraded version of “David’s Sling” were tested.”
